carb leaking

so i got the kickstart on my 2nd elite running, and it started right up, i took it to the gas station and shut it off and it wouldnt start, i noticed that it was leaking gas from the carburator... i got back home and cleaned the whole carb, put it back on and its still leaking, any ideas?

Where exactly is it leaking from? Could you post a pic and point out where?

stop being cheap and get it fixed the correct way a float is only like 10$ and a needle is like 5
